Cant believe its been so long since I updated this!
On the Cx front.
It passed its Mot the other day, Just minor stuff to get it through. The Mot tester commented on how it looked good underneath!
So the 15 tonnes of metal welded into it in the last year helped then.
Just prior to this it managed to go from norwich to march to gatwick, then back again a week later in the ice and snow! Not bad for a 25 year old car.
I have managed to get hold of a rear subframe and will be getting it prepped soon. That will be a long job to fit as I want to repipe and clean up the back end at the same time!
More pressing is getting the roof fitted, I now have a sunroofless roof ready to go on. Just need to find somewhere to do it, so any suggestions welcome!
Once the roof is no longer leaking I can refit the rest of the interior.
On the Xm front.
Not a lot has changed, the alternator I had refurbished a couple of years ago is making one hell of a noise, so im guessing they did not replace the bearing when they did it! Will have to wait untill I can get the Cx back before removing the alternator for another refurbishment.
I hit a large pothole the other day and now have a knocking which sounds the same as before i did the droplinks. So lesson learnt.
I think I should have replaced the ARB bushes at the same time but whoosed out. So now I need to do those and the droplinks again.
Xm estate.
Not a lot has happened with this
